This is part of my work with a conservation organisation called Rare. We work with local partners who conduct extensive research, including KAP surveys, as part of their social marketing projects promoting behaviour change for sustainable watershed management, in Colombia. We need to cut down on complexity and costs with these surveys.
Many thanks Rodoula, Surveymonkey is one of the options I am looking at.
Hi Alan - You can consider the social networks i.e. Facebook and LinkedIn. You can target specific LinkedIn groups or FB Pages and promote your survey to the members. Other low cost tools could be the ResearchGate, you can publish your work as a project and seeking some help or assistance from Colombian or Latin American individuals/ researchers. They might advise you to employ specific low-cost tools as they have a better understanding on the nature of your society and can offer you some guidance on conducting your survey.
I hope this helps and good luck with your work.
BR,
Dana
Hi Alan
I'm not sure whether you are interested in doing household level surveys (although the tool can be adapted beyond that). If you are, have a look at the tools and support systems for household surveys developed by the Computational Tools Team of the Development Research Group of the World Bank.
The computational tool is named the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) tool for undertaking household surveys. CAPI tools are part of the World Bank Open Bank, Open Data, Open Knowledge initiative, which has developed analytical tools for applied research by bringing together specialists in high‐level programming, advanced econometrics, and geographic information systems to create appropriate data
gathering and analysis products/tools.
The programme covers a number of areas of support for research, viz.:
Software for data collection
Software for automated data analysis
Software for data dissemination
Tools for micro‐econometric analysis
The project to develop the CAPI tools was initiated in 2012 as a joint venture collaboration between the World Bank, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Living Standards Measurement Study‐Integrated Surveys on Agriculture team and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
The tool allows an efficient household survey process that provides respondents the option of filling in their own questionnaire for privacy if required. It also facilitates data analysis and consolidation to a central hub that allows updating of data in an uncomplicated and cost‐effective manner and a relatively simple 'in-house' tool for tracking changes from a baseline and for monitoring and evaluation progress.
Good luck
Many thanks Geraldine, that sounds very interesting, I'll check it out!
as far as house hold survey concern,
ya, it is very tedious, but if you have any specific reason/moto you can focus on to the common things used by people.
i.e. people are using electricity,there bill are coming on the basis of that you can judge there socio-economical level
like wise you can spot some other utility to know your target information
approach government official data/demography for getting required details.
else others has rightly directed in new way!
thanks
